Demo vs Live Accounts

Trade Wzrd supports both demo and live accounts. The connection process is identical for both.

Always test on a demo account first. Verify your automation and copy trading rules work as expected before connecting a live account with real funds.

Account Limits

Your plan determines how many accounts you can connect. The Connect Account modal shows your current usage with a progress bar. When you reach your limit, you’ll see a warning with a link to upgrade your plan.

See Plans & Pricing for full details.

Troubleshooting

Wrong Credentials

Account immediately shows as disconnected after connecting.

  • Double-check your account number and password.
  • For MT4/MT5, ensure you are using the trading password, not the investor or master password.
  • Passwords are case-sensitive. Check for accidental spaces.

Server Not Found

Connection fails with a server error.

  • Verify the exact server name in your trading platform.
  • Type the full server name manually if search doesn’t find it.
  • Contact your broker to confirm the correct server address.

Connection Drops Intermittently

Account alternates between connected and disconnected.

  • Check your internet connection stability.
  • If the issue persists, disconnect and reconnect the account.

cTrader Authorization Fails

Redirect doesn’t return to Trade Wzrd.

  • Ensure pop-up blockers are disabled for tradewzrd.com.
  • Clear your browser cookies and try again.
  • Make sure your cTrader account is active and not locked.
